Commenting on the announcement Glen Killane, Managing Director of eir TV and Sport said; "Fans will be able to see the US PGA on the eir Sport channels and on the eir sport app, which can be cast onto your television screen via Chromecast. So, it's more golf action and more ways to watch."
The tournament is no longer on Sky Sports, although the BBC will show most of the tournament on Red Button.
